Abstract (en)
[origin: EP2559558A1] An image forming apparatus includes an apparatus body, a carriage (3), a first recording head (4b, 4c, 4d), a second recording head (4a), and a maintenance assembly (20). The carriage (3) is movable in a main scanning direction. Each of the first head (4b, 4c, 4d) and the second head (4a) has nozzles in a nozzle face to eject liquid droplets. The second head (4a) is displaced from the first head (4b, 4c, 4d) in a sub scanning direction perpendicular to the main scanning direction. The maintenance assembly (20) maintains and recovers the first head (4b, 4c, 4d) and the second head (4a). The maintenance assembly (20) includes a first maintenance device (21) held by the body and a second maintenance device (22) reciprocally movable between a first position to oppose the first head (4b, 4c, 4d) and a second position to oppose the second head (4a).
